Roof rat injures Phoenix man's dog during scuffle

PHOENIX (FOX 10) - Normally, the backyard is the perfect place for Dan Masters to let his two papillons play. Until last Wednesday, when a couple of rodents spoiled the fun. "Right around sunset, our two dogs, Kate and Trooper, ran right over here and saw a roof rat, a very large one, run up the side of the house," Master said.
